pASTEUR'S METHOD DEFENDED.
A british Commission Reports tie
Result Of its fnvesfigatiOn.

The .Ndic0i Ncws of Philadelphia
in its issue of this week will contain II
lengthy abstract Of the report present
ed to Parliament last week by the BIZ
tish commission appointed last year to
inquire into NJ. Pasteurs treatment of
hydrophobia. From this abstract the
following paragraphs are taken:
at may hence be deemed certain
that NJ. Pasteur has discovered a method
of protection from rabies comparable
with that which vaccination affords
against infection from smallpox. 1t
would be difficult to oyerestimate the
importance of the discovery, whether
for its practical utility or for It's appli-
cation in general pathology. Ii shows
a new method of incubation, or, AS NJ.
Pasteur sometimes calls it, OF vaccina-
tion, the like OF which it may become
possible to employ for protection OF
both men and domestic animals against
others of the most intense kinds Of
virus. The duration OF the immunity
conferred by incubation is not yet de-
termined, but during the two years
that have passed since it was first proved
there have been no indications OF its
being limited.
"The committee think it therefore
certain that the inoculations practiced
by NJ. Pasteur have prevented the oc-
currence of hydrophobia in large pro-
portion of those who, if they had not
been so inoculated, would have died oi
that disease. And his discovery shows
that it may become possible to arres,
by incubation, even after infection,
other diseases besides hydrophobia
His researches have also added very
largely to the knowledge of the patholo-
gy of hydrophobia and supplied sure
means OF determining whether an ami
NAL which has died under suspicion OF
rabies was really affected with that dis
ease or not.
The Ncdicai Nous says editorially (:
"The report of the British hydro
phobia commission constitutes the
ablest defence of NJ. Pasteur's method
which has yet been made, and it is a
cause for congratulation that men so
competent to observe facts and weigh
evidence have been able, after full in
ye.tigations, TO reach a unanimous con
clusion as to the prophylactic value OF
tie inoculations OF Pasteur. "

APrnrniscnnns shonfer.

Yesterday morning William +. Cleve-
land, a white man from Scottsville, Al
bemarlc county, was arrested and
locked up in the Third police station
on the charge of feloniously shooting
Thomas Trent with apistol, with intent
to kill, i'll the county of Henrico. 1t
appears, from all that could be learned,
that the man. when coming toward
Richmond and few miles from town,
drew his pistol and fired into gather
ing of colored men, and one of the shots
took effect in Trcnt's forearm. After
emptying his revolver it is stated that
he quietly sat on his horse and reloaded
and resumed firing. Theparties charged
upon him, andhe, after firing two shots,
put spurs to his horse and dashed down
the road. He was quito noisy after
reaching the city, and this led to his ar
rest. He will be taken before the Po-
lice Court this morning, and no
doubt will be turned over to the county
authorities.

is said to be the loveliest lot in that

intention to commence with as little de-
lay as possible to erect upon it COM
modious church structure, the base
ment of which will serve as hall and
school. A pastor will be placed there,
and then the Catholics will be superla-

The Bishop will visit Fort Monroe

Observation-Disclosures POWER
Action OF the Committee on streets
Last Night.

The Committee on Streets met last
night and considered the application Of
the Manchester Railway and Improve
ment Company for permission to run
and operate a street-car line in this city
on the following route A double track
from Broad and Ninth streets along
Broad to Fourteenth thence to and
across Main street TO some point at or
near Exchange alley, and thence with
a single track along Fourteenth from
said point near Exchange alley TO Dock
street thence with double track along
Fourteenth to and across James river
over Mayo's bridge to Manchester.
Mr.. c. w. Turner, president OF the
company, and Major Benjamin II.
Nash, counsel, appeared on behalf Of
the road and spoke 10 the committee.
A protest was read from Messrs. l..
c. Younger, Cringan, Watkins a Co.,
Gates & Brown, and others, who claimed
that the road on Fourteenth street
would he greatly injurious to business.
Mr.. Lewis II. Blair, who said he had
no interest in the enterprise, was
present and made brief address in IA
vor of ii.
After some discussion it was resolved
that the City Attorney and City Engi-
noer be directed to frame a suitably
guarded ordinance granting the priyi-
leee, and present it to the committee
at its next meeting on the 2Sth instant.
The sentiment of the committee
seemed decidedly in favor of granting
the franchise and of placing the com
pany in regard to taxes and other cOndi-
tons on the same footing as the City
and Union companies.
ELECTmC-PowER COMPANY.
The Excelsior Electric-Light and
Power Company John +. Barry presi-
dent presented "A petition for permis-
sion to extend its line on the following
streets From Fifteenth between Main
and Cary to Gary, thence to Pear,
thence to Water, thence to Ash also
from Seventh and Cary along Seventh
to Canal.
This company was granted by the
City Council IN 1884 permission -
erect poles and wires in this city and
furnish subscribers with electric light
and power. 1t is now believed that
they are to furnish the Union Railway
Company with power, and the enlarge
ment Of privileges already granted Is
asked to carry them to the point where
the electric plant is to be located, and
also TO get more nearly into the manu-
featuring part of the city III order that
they may furnish power for engines
and other machinery.
Mr. Powers moved TO refer the mat
ter to the City Attorney, as the Schuy-
Ter Company had contract for term
of years which this might conflict with.
The motion was carried.
Adjourned.

John Miller, the wrestler, has, as
vet, no response from the parties in
Norfolk whom he challenged to trial
of skill and strength. Yesterday he
wrote to Greek George, at Norfolk,
offering to pay him 800, win or lose,
to come up here and wrestle. There is
nobody in Richmond willing to tackle
Mr.. Miller-a fact which he deplores-

to look to outsiders to afford him a sum-
